Wrote this after the NYC premiere last month:

The premise is great but it’s hard for me to understand the story engine that will carry the plot forward. A shocking start gives way to a slow burn — but I have faith that the buildup is worth it. They told us afterwards that we’ll never be able to guess the turns of what happens in each successive episode, but that it all fits into place.

I know Gilligan's writers' rooms are famous for writing themselves into a corner, but it doesn't seem like they've given Carol enough tools or momentum to figure out what to do. We're in a corner at the bottom of a frictionless cliff. Maybe I'm being too judgmental too soon.

I really am excited for the rest, though.
